National Geographic Presents “Remembering 9/11”

Most of us remember exactly where we were when we heard the news that America was under attack in 2001. Unlike Pearl Harbor, when the rest of the world was at war and it was only a matter of time before U.S. involvement, the world on September 11, 2001 seemed relatively at peace – except for the turf wars that had been going on for centuries.

All that changed at 0845 on the East Coast.

National Geographic has done a tremendous justice to the memory of 9/11 – it has catalogued interviews from family members and others as well as profiled the regimes of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Ladin. It also managed to sit former president George W. Bush down for a very real and insightful interview about the impact that day had on him, the reasoning behind some decisions and the turmoil he had as not only the president but as an husband and father.

This next week, starting tonight, National Geographic will be airing its specials, “Remembering 9/11.” You’ll definitely want to check this out.
